Tutus and Ties Fun Run
Join us for Fun, Fitness, and Fundraising at our 2025 Tutus and Ties Fun Run
When: Saturday, October 18th at 8am
Where: Hill Country Galleria, 12700 Hill Country Blvd, Bee Cave TX 78738
Event Details: This family-friendly course is approximately 1K in length and allows for some skills along the way (i.e. skipping, high knees, side shuffles, etc). For those who prefer to bypass the skills, there is an option for a self-timed 5K run or walk.
Online Silent Auction: The Online Silent Auction is for EVERYONE— not only those participating in the fun run. In fact, bidders in years past have participated from across the country. Items that are not available for shipping are clearly marked, but a great many of the items can be shipped or emailed to the winning bidder.
This year’s auction includes travel such as a luxury villa in Acapulco, items made by AIMers, tools, kitchen goodies, jewelry, and gift certificates for lovers of food, wine, and fun activities.
Bidding Opens: 6am Wednesday, Oct. 8th
Bidding Closes: 8pm Tuesday, Oct. 14th
Item Pick Up (for items that will be picked up in person) on Thursday, October 15th 6-8pm at Lake Travis Biergarten (3519 Ranch Road 620, Austin TX 78734).
THANK YOU! AIM does not charge a fee to AIMers, which means 100% of the funds to cover costs of our operations comes from fundraising. Tutus and Ties is our biggest fundraiser of the year. Please help us make independence possible for adults with disabilities by joining us for our 8th annual Tutus and Ties Fun Run.
YOUR SUPPORT provides:
Transportation so that AIMers can get to work and AIM activities
Opportunities for ongoing learning, physical fitness, and social activities
Sustainability so that AIM can be their lifelong community
